AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a bristle brush that can be used to clean gears and rollers in a conveyor belt system. The brush has a unique design that allows for a smooth transition when moving over the gear or roller. The brush can also be injected with different polymers to improve its mechanical performance and make it more comfortable to use. This injection process is simple, versatile, and cost-effective compared to other solutions.

Problems solved by technology

This system has several drawbacks, such as the manufacturing cost (fixing the bristles to a support plate), the weight (said support plate must be thick in order to properly fix the bristles), the power required to move the conveyor belt (the greater the weight, the higher the power required), etc.

first embodiment

[0016] said coupling elements are anchors provided with a longitudinal hole. This longitudinal hole is for placing a tie and traction rod.

[0017]Preferably, said anchors are associated in pairs, the longitudinal holes of the anchors defining two longitudinal axes on the leading edge and two longitudinal axes on the trailing edge, each for corresponding traction rods.

[0018]In this way, a visual transition on the change of direction shaft is achieved which is much more homogeneous and has no micro-separations, and a much better distribution of tensile stress is also achieved by being divided between the two traction rods inserted longitudinally in each joining area, between the brushes.

[0019]According to an alternative embodiment, the brush can have a polygonal shape with any number of faces, not necessarily quadrangular. In the case of using a hexagonal shape, the brush has an equidistant regular distribution of the traction shafts.

[0020]Furthermore, according to one embodiment, said ...

second embodiment

[0021] said coupling elements are flanges that fit in complementary housings.

[0022]According to this embodiment, said flanges are preferably placed in the projections of the support plate and said housings are placed in the recesses of the support plate.

[0023]Furthermore, according to this embodiment, said support plate is smooth on its surface opposite the flexible bristles, said opposite surface comprising an adhesive substrate.

[0024]This smooth support plate can be used, in particular, when the end of the conveyor belt is a cylinder without steps or pull notches, generally used in belts that do not need precise positioning and that move at a higher speed.

[0025]It can also be a system that enables traction fitting or adapting to specific or standard modules of the industry, in this case using the standardised pull pinions if necessary.

[0026]Preferably, said adhesive substrate is coated with a protective sheet before its first use, which is removed to fix the support plate.

third embodiment

[0058]In FIGS. 8 and 9, the bristle brush according to the present invention is shown.

[0059]In this third embodiment, said support plate 1 has a hexagonal shape, a plurality of staggered brushes being mounted (FIG. 9), for example, by an anchor 3 on the leading edge 11 thereof and two anchors 3 on the trailing edge 12 thereof.

Abstract

The bristle brush comprises a support plate (1), a plurality of flexible bristles (2) emerging from one of the surfaces thereof, the ends of the bristles (2) furthest from the support plate (1) defining a support surface intended to receive a part to be transported and / or cut, wherein said support plate (1) comprises a leading edge (11) and a trailing edge (12), said leading (11) and trailing (12) edges comprising complementary shapes. It enables a conveyor belt formed by said brushes to achieve very small turning radii.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a bristle brush, which is modular and enables forming, by joining a plurality of said brushes, a homogeneous base, such as an endless conveyor belt.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Brushes are currently known which, when duly fixed to a set of mechanical elements, form a movable surface by way of an endless conveyor belt.[0003]Said conveyor belts are used in different industrial areas to transport and / or handle elements which must be elevated, or which cannot be in contact with a rigid or continuous surface.[0004]There are brushes comprising a plurality of bristles mechanically fixed to a support plate and multiple brushes are linked to form a larger surface or conveyor belt.[0005]This system has several drawbacks, such as the manufacturing cost (fixing the bristles to a support plate), the weight (said support plate must be thick in order to properly fix the bristles), the power required to move the conveyor belt (the greater the weight, the h...
